Safeguarding children is a vital part of a healthcare workers role and their intervention can often be life changing for the child. Understanding key indicators and child abuse signs greatly improves the chances of early intervention. Any member of staff that comes into contact with children must have a basic understanding of child safeguarding and how abuse can impact on a child's behaviour and development.
